Hunt for missing sex offender

Susan Plunkett

Police are appealing for information to trace a sex offender who is missing from Burnley.

Kyle Killian (22) of no fixed address, was initially jailed in January 2015 for sexual activity with a child under 16. He was released from prison earlier this month and was made subject to notification requirements.

As part of his requirements he must register his address every seven days. On Tuesday, March 21st, he failed to do so and has not registered since. He is now wanted for breaching these notification requirements.

He is thought to be in Burnley and has links to the Stoops estate area.

PC Tom Dawson from the Sex Offender Management Unit said: “Killian is wanted for breaching his notification requirements and our enquiries are on-going to find him. If anyone has seen him or has any information on his whereabouts I would urge them to get in touch with us.

"Similarly if Kyle Killian sees this appeal, I would urge him to make contact with us at his earliest opportunity.”

Anyone with information can contact police on 101. Alternatively independent charity Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at Crimestoppers-uk.org.
